" In man three transformations are necessary, that are indicated by the
letters SAI. "S" stands for spiritual change; "A" stands for associational
change (society); and "I" stands for individual change. With the changes in
these three the country too would change. Without individual transformation
society cannot change and if society doesn't change, spirituality cannot
develop. When man is defective, society too becomes defective as every
individual is a part of the society. So one must sacrifice, think of God and
lead a Divine life rather than following a narrow pathway.
